Noah's ark in blue and pink - perfect for twins

I came across this idea when someone asked for matching blankets for a twin boy and girl. At the time I had nothing appropriate or two blankets that were vaguely similar to each other.

I like them, but they were never bought! (I will sell them separately too)

Meet Darius and Dante

 

I used a Funky Friends Factory pattern to make these little blue friends, in contrasting spots. I made 4 in total, (2 of each) and the first one went to my nephew whilst recovering from surgery. One went to my own little boy and the other two went to special little guys on their first birthdays.

 

It was so great to find such a cute boy's softie.

 

 

 Terrifyingly cute, hey?!

Teddies plus blue

 

Cute fluffy teddies on baby blue soft flannel.

 

I just love this one!

 

 

Sailboat teddies

This time it's nautical bears for boys!

 

 

 

 

Creative catch up... starting with a baby boy blanket in bold colours

Despite it being a long time between posts, last year was not completely creation-free!

 

So over the next few weeks I will post a few of my projects and hopefully some new ones too.

 

 

So, without further ado....

 

 

I really love the rich colours and cute characters in this baby boy's blanket.

 

 

I have been trying consciously to add some boy flavoured items to my store, as it seems so easy to find beautiful girly fabrics and colours. Without trying too hard, I have been able to find some cute and bold boy prints.

 

My dolly donation

Here are my dollies for the dolly drive monkeemoomoo is doing. I used the simple pattern provided by the original dolly donation site and altered it a little to give thumbs and feet. I also got inspired and added pig tails for the girls which I really liked the look of. Plus a little pocket on the front.

I hope some special kids get some joy from them.

Boys...

Girls...

PS this was a great little project to use up scraps of fabric I can never throw out!

Little bags

Slugs and snails....

The last in my 'Snug as a Bug' blanket range, as I have run out of all the mink fabric I bought. Embossed blue mink backed with a gorgeous soft sptted flannel and a cute googly eyed snail.

Baby boy card

Pardon the repition of stamps and ideas, am mostly using this blog as a way of cataloguing my card ideas for future use! Plus there are no more babies due for a while, so this should be the last for a little bit!

More blankies...in purple

Purple mink backed with lime green flannel, featuring a machine blanket stitched purple dragonfly.... (that features more dragonflies, of course)

Purple mink with white muslin printed with cute purple teddies....

POGO mats - stars!

My newest POGO designs, in this gorgeous stars print with pink/brown/white or aqua/brown/white stars. I have been wanting to do a boy/girl variation for a little while and when I saw these stars, I fell in love!
